Journal ArticleDOI

An immunostimulatory dual-functional nanocarrier that improves cancer immunochemotherapy

TL;DR: It is shown that systemic delivery of paclitaxel (PTX) using the PEG2k-Fmoc-NLG nanocarrier leads to a significantly improved antitumour response in both breast cancer and melanoma mouse models.
Journal ArticleDOI

Doxorubicin delivered by a redox-responsive dasatinib-containing polymeric prodrug carrier for combination therapy.

TL;DR: DOX‐loaded POEG‐b‐PSSDas micelles were more effective in inhibiting the tumor growth and prolonging the survival rate in an aggressive murine breast cancer model and a micellar formulation co‐loaded with DOX and DAS provides an attractive strategy for effective combination of tumor targeted therapy and traditional chemotherapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Design and Characterization of PEG-Derivatized Vitamin E as a Nanomicellar Formulation for Delivery of Paclitaxel

TL;DR: The study suggests that PEG5K-Vitmin E2 may hold promise as an improved micellar formulation for in vivo delivery of anticancer agents such as PTX.
Journal ArticleDOI

Programmable co-delivery of the immune checkpoint inhibitor NLG919 and chemotherapeutic doxorubicin via a redox-responsive immunostimulatory polymeric prodrug carrier

TL;DR: Systemic delivery of DOX via PSSN10 nanocarrier results in synergistic anti-tumor activity and a more immunoactive tumor microenvironment was observed in the mice treated with P SSN10 or DOX/PSSN10 micelles compared with the other treatment groups.
Journal ArticleDOI

PEG-Farnesylthiosalicylate Conjugate as a Nanomicellar Carrier for Delivery of Paclitaxel

TL;DR: The antitumor activity of the PTX loaded PEG5K-FTS2(L) micelles in a syngeneic murine breast cancer model was found to be significantly higher than that of Taxol, which may be attributed to their preferential tumor accumulation and a possible synergistic effect between the carrier and the codelivered drug.
